I was one of those players who had to get to level 45 for this event, I earned it, I don't like the idea of it being thrown up in the cash shop for $5 or whatever as that devalues my efforts and the efforts of others who participated. There's nothing wrong with a little exclusivity in the game.

That being said, it would make sense for them to bring it back for future XIII related release dates. It was meant as an advertisement for that game, after all.
